To disassemble the optional Zip drive, see Figure 4-21 and follow these steps:
1. Remove the optional Zip drive from the options bay.
2. Remove the two 5-mm screws from the top of the drive assembly.
3. Carefully unsnap the upper plastic from the lower plastic. It is held in place
by a series of internal plastic tabs around the edge of the holder.
4. Lift the Zip drive out of the lower plastic. The metal bracket for the connec-
tor may lift out as you remove the Zip drive.
NOTE: To remove the media from the Zip drive once the power to the drive is
off, insert a small, thin object (such as one end of a paper clip) into the pinhole
in the drive's LED. This will eject the Zip disk.
